I suspect the Beta gathered MAG most of its buyers, while some who placed pre-orders didn't like the Beta and cancelled. I'm not sure the pre-order totals get decremented as well as incremented.
Either that or the number was way high, but it's actually closer to final sales than ME2 pre-orders, so I think it's more likely at a point it looked like MAG had accumulated 250 K pre-orders but no-one was decrementing the 50K who changed their mind and cancelled.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
